All Chapters of Rivals In Love: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Inside a dimly lit office, deep within the heart of Khalidan’s underworld, Slade Luther lounged in a black leather chair, a cigar burning between his fingers. Around him, his most trusted men sat in celebratory spirits, the air thick with smoke and the scent of expensive whiskey. They had come a long way since their arrival, carving a place for themselves in the ruthless world ruled by Vasyl the Viper.It had taken money, blood, and ruthless precision, but they had done it. Slade’s empire was no longer just an idea, it was a force. Strong alliances had been formed, enemies silenced, and their presence in Khalidan’s underworld was no longer a rumor but a reality.Slade took a slow drag from his cigar, exhaling with satisfaction. His blue eyes gleamed with ambition."This is just the beginning," he declared, his voice smooth but laced with the hunger of a predator. "We keep pushing. We make Vasyl irrelevant. We don’t just compete… we take everything."His men cheered, raising their glas

As they stepped inside, the grandeur of the estate’s interior unfolded before them. The foyer was vast and elegant, with high vaulted ceilings adorned with a grand crystal chandelier that shimmered like captured starlight. The walls were a smooth combination of white marble and warm oak paneling, complementing the polished black and gold accents that ran throughout the space.A massive spiral staircase with intricate wrought-iron railings curved upward to the second floor. To the left, a sunken living room stretched out, its floor-to-ceiling glass walls offering an uninterrupted view of the ocean and garden. Plush, cream-colored sofas were arranged around a sleek fireplace, and a grand piano stood in the corner, its black lacquered surface gleaming under the soft lighting.Sofia walked in slowly, taking everything in. Her heels clicked softly against the Italian marble floors, and a subtle floral fragrance filled the air, likely from the fresh orchids and lilies decorating the space.

Ellie stepped out of her sleek black car, her heels clicking against the pavement as she strode confidently toward Rodrigo’s mansion. The late afternoon sun cast a golden hue over the grand estate, but the tension in the air was anything but warm.Just as she reached the entrance, the gates slowly opened, revealing Rodrigo’s car rolling forward. He was about to drive off when she stepped directly in front of the vehicle, forcing him to slam the brakes.Rodrigo let out a low growl of frustration before stepping out of the car, his sharp gaze raking over her. His lips curled into a smirk. "Well, well… I wasn’t expecting you to be out so soon. Guess Adam’s not as ruthless as he pretends to be."Ellie tilted her head slightly, mirroring his smirk. "You underestimated me, Rodrigo. That was your first mistake."Rodrigo scoffed, crossing his arms. "And what exactly am I supposed to be afraid of? A girl who wasted years obsessing over a man who never wanted her?" He leaned in slightly, his vo

Next Morning:::Despite the relentless efforts of Adam's men, there was still no sign of him or Sofia. Hours had passed, turning into a painful stretch of time, and the search party seemed to grow more frantic with each minute. Daniel paced back and forth, frustration clouding his normally composed demeanor. His gaze constantly flicked to the horizon, as if hoping the impossible would happen, that Adam and Sofia would rise from the water, safe, unharmed. But no. Nothing. He got the news that few hours after he left thei house, Sofia was taken and now the where both missing underwater.Lily, standing by Daniel’s side, had her hand pressed to her mouth, tears staining her cheeks. The cold breeze did little to numb the pain she felt, as her mind kept replaying the horror of hearing the news of Adam and Sofia’s disappearance.At the shoreline, Mateo, Ryan, Gad, Diana, Anna, and even Grandma Valerie and Aunt Melda had just arrived that morning, the news of Adam and Sofia’s vanishing pullin

"Oh no! The fish!"A sudden sizzle and a sharp, burnt smell filled the air.Adam and Sofia pulled apart, eyes wide in horror as they turned toward the fire. Smoke curled from the skewered fish they had been cooking, now completely blackened and charred beyond saving.For a moment, there was silence. Then…..They both burst into laughter.Adam ran a hand down his face, shaking his head. "Well… there goes dinner."Sofia giggled, leaning into him. "At least we have coconuts?"Adam groaned dramatically. "I never want to see another coconut again."Sofia laughed harder, and Adam couldn't help but smile as he watched her. Even in the middle of nowhere, even after everything they had been through, she was still his sunshine. And as long as they had each other, they would find a way to survive.*********Ellie sat on the lavish couch, her eyes glued to the television screen as the news played on repeat. The reporters stood by the ocean, their faces grim, helicopters hovering in the sky as dive
